In continual RL, the environment of a reinforcement learning (RL) agent undergoes change. A successful system should appropriately balance the conflicting requirements of retaining agent performance on already learned tasks, stability, whilst learning new tasks, plasticity. The first-in-first-out buffer is commonly used to enhance learning in such settings but requires significant memory. We explore the application of an augmentation to this buffer which alleviates the memory constraints, and use it with a world model model-based reinforcement learning algorithm, to evaluate its effectiveness in facilitating continual learning. We evaluate the effectiveness of our method in Procgen and Atari RL benchmarks and show that the distribution matching augmentation to the replay-buffer used in the context of latent world models can successfully prevent catastrophic forgetting with significantly reduced computational overhead. Yet, we also find such a solution to not be entirely infallible, and other failure modes such as the opposite -- lacking plasticity and being unable to learn a new task -- to be a potential limitation in continual learning systems.

This paper presents new solutions for Private Information Retrieval (PIR) with side information. This problem is motivated by PIR settings in which a client has side information about the data held by the servers and would like to leverage this information in order to improve the download rate. The problem of PIR with side information has been the subject of several recent studies that presented achievability schemes as well as converses for both multi-server and single-server settings. However, the solutions for the multi-server settings adapted from the solutions for the single-server setting in a rather straightforward manner, relying on the concept of super-messages. Such solutions require an exponential degree of sub-packetization (in terms of the number of messages). This paper makes the following contributions. First, we revisit the PIR problem with side information and present a new approach to leverage side information in the context of PIR. The key idea of our approach is a randomized algorithm to determine the linear combinations of the sub-packets that need to be recovered from each server. In addition, our approach takes advantage of the fact that the identity of the side information messages does not need to be kept private, and, as a result, the information retrieval scheme does not need to be symmetric. Second, we present schemes for PIR with side information that achieve a higher rate than previously proposed solutions and require a significantly lower degree of sub-packetization (linear in the number of servers). Our scheme not only achieves the highest known download rate for the problem at hand but also invalidates a previously claimed converse bound on the maximum achievable download rate.

Remaining useful life prediction plays a crucial role in the health management of industrial systems. Given the increasing complexity of systems, data-driven predictive models have attracted significant research interest. Upon reviewing the existing literature, it appears that many studies either do not fully integrate both spatial and temporal features or employ only a single attention mechanism. Furthermore, there seems to be inconsistency in the choice of data normalization methods, particularly concerning operating conditions, which might influence predictive performance. To bridge these observations, this study presents the Spatio-Temporal Attention Graph Neural Network. Our model combines graph neural networks and temporal convolutional neural networks for spatial and temporal feature extraction, respectively. The cascade of these extractors, combined with multi-head attention mechanisms for both spatio-temporal dimensions, aims to improve predictive precision and refine model explainability. Comprehensive experiments were conducted on the C-MAPSS dataset to evaluate the impact of unified versus clustering normalization. The findings suggest that our model performs state-of-the-art results using only the unified normalization. Additionally, when dealing with datasets with multiple operating conditions, cluster normalization enhances the performance of our proposed model by up to 27%.

This tutorial aims to provide an intuitive introduction to Gaussian process regression (GPR). GPR models have been widely used in machine learning applications due to their representation flexibility and inherent capability to quantify uncertainty over predictions. The tutorial starts with explaining the basic concepts that a Gaussian process is built on, including multivariate normal distribution, kernels, non-parametric models, and joint and conditional probability. It then provides a concise description of GPR and an implementation of a standard GPR algorithm. In addition, the tutorial reviews packages for implementing state-of-the-art Gaussian process algorithms. This tutorial is accessible to a broad audience, including those new to machine learning, ensuring a clear understanding of GPR fundamentals.

Music auto-tagging is crucial for enhancing music discovery and recommendation. Existing models in Music Information Retrieval (MIR) struggle with real-world noise such as environmental and speech sounds in multimedia content. This study proposes a method inspired by speech-related tasks to enhance music auto-tagging performance in noisy settings. The approach integrates Domain Adversarial Training (DAT) into the music domain, enabling robust music representations that withstand noise. Unlike previous research, this approach involves an additional pretraining phase for the domain classifier, to avoid performance degradation in the subsequent phase. Adding various synthesized noisy music data improves the model's generalization across different noise levels. The proposed architecture demonstrates enhanced performance in music auto-tagging by effectively utilizing unlabeled noisy music data. Additional experiments with supplementary unlabeled data further improves the model's performance, underscoring its robust generalization capabilities and broad applicability.

Long patch validation time is a limiting factor for automated program repair (APR). Though the duality between patch validation and mutation testing is recognized, so far there exists no study of systematically adapting mutation testing techniques to general-purpose patch validation. To address this gap, we investigate existing mutation testing techniques and identify five classes of acceleration techniques that are suitable for general-purpose patch validation. Among them, mutant schemata and mutant deduplication have not been adapted to general-purpose patch validation due to the arbitrary changes that third-party APR approaches may introduce. This presents two problems for adaption: 1) the difficulty of implementing the static equivalence analysis required by the state-of-the-art mutant deduplication approach; 2) the difficulty of capturing the changes of patches to the system state at runtime. To overcome these problems, we propose two novel approaches: 1) execution scheduling, which detects the equivalence between patches online, avoiding the static equivalence analysis and its imprecision; 2) interception-based instrumentation, which intercepts the changes of patches to the system state, avoiding a full interpreter and its overhead. Based on the contributions above, we implement ExpressAPR, a general-purpose patch validator for Java that integrates all recognized classes of techniques suitable for patch validation. Our large-scale evaluation with four APR approaches shows that ExpressAPR accelerates patch validation by 137.1x over plainvalidation or 8.8x over the state-of-the-art approach, making patch validation no longer the time bottleneck of APR. Patch validation time for a single bug can be reduced to within a few minutes on mainstream CPUs.

Recent artificial intelligence (AI) systems have reached milestones in "grand challenges" ranging from Go to protein-folding. The capability to retrieve medical knowledge, reason over it, and answer medical questions comparably to physicians has long been viewed as one such grand challenge. Large language models (LLMs) have catalyzed significant progress in medical question answering; Med-PaLM was the first model to exceed a "passing" score in US Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) style questions with a score of 67.2% on the MedQA dataset. However, this and other prior work suggested significant room for improvement, especially when models' answers were compared to clinicians' answers. Here we present Med-PaLM 2, which bridges these gaps by leveraging a combination of base LLM improvements (PaLM 2), medical domain finetuning, and prompting strategies including a novel ensemble refinement approach. Med-PaLM 2 scored up to 86.5% on the MedQA dataset, improving upon Med-PaLM by over 19% and setting a new state-of-the-art. We also observed performance approaching or exceeding state-of-the-art across MedMCQA, PubMedQA, and MMLU clinical topics datasets. We performed detailed human evaluations on long-form questions along multiple axes relevant to clinical applications. In pairwise comparative ranking of 1066 consumer medical questions, physicians preferred Med-PaLM 2 answers to those produced by physicians on eight of nine axes pertaining to clinical utility (p < 0.001). We also observed significant improvements compared to Med-PaLM on every evaluation axis (p < 0.001) on newly introduced datasets of 240 long-form "adversarial" questions to probe LLM limitations. While further studies are necessary to validate the efficacy of these models in real-world settings, these results highlight rapid progress towards physician-level performance in medical question answering.

We present a large-scale study on unsupervised spatiotemporal representation learning from videos. With a unified perspective on four recent image-based frameworks, we study a simple objective that can easily generalize all these methods to space-time. Our objective encourages temporally-persistent features in the same video, and in spite of its simplicity, it works surprisingly well across: (i) different unsupervised frameworks, (ii) pre-training datasets, (iii) downstream datasets, and (iv) backbone architectures. We draw a series of intriguing observations from this study, e.g., we discover that encouraging long-spanned persistency can be effective even if the timespan is 60 seconds. In addition to state-of-the-art results in multiple benchmarks, we report a few promising cases in which unsupervised pre-training can outperform its supervised counterpart.

Few-shot Knowledge Graph (KG) completion is a focus of current research, where each task aims at querying unseen facts of a relation given its few-shot reference entity pairs. Recent attempts solve this problem by learning static representations of entities and references, ignoring their dynamic properties, i.e., entities may exhibit diverse roles within task relations, and references may make different contributions to queries. This work proposes an adaptive attentional network for few-shot KG completion by learning adaptive entity and reference representations. Specifically, entities are modeled by an adaptive neighbor encoder to discern their task-oriented roles, while references are modeled by an adaptive query-aware aggregator to differentiate their contributions. Through the attention mechanism, both entities and references can capture their fine-grained semantic meanings, and thus render more expressive representations. This will be more predictive for knowledge acquisition in the few-shot scenario. Evaluation in link prediction on two public datasets shows that our approach achieves new state-of-the-art results with different few-shot sizes.

Weakly supervised phrase grounding aims at learning region-phrase correspondences using only image-sentence pairs. A major challenge thus lies in the missing links between image regions and sentence phrases during training. To address this challenge, we leverage a generic object detector at training time, and propose a contrastive learning framework that accounts for both region-phrase and image-sentence matching. Our core innovation is the learning of a region-phrase score function, based on which an image-sentence score function is further constructed. Importantly, our region-phrase score function is learned by distilling from soft matching scores between the detected object class names and candidate phrases within an image-sentence pair, while the image-sentence score function is supervised by ground-truth image-sentence pairs. The design of such score functions removes the need of object detection at test time, thereby significantly reducing the inference cost. Without bells and whistles, our approach achieves state-of-the-art results on the task of visual phrase grounding, surpassing previous methods that require expensive object detectors at test time.
